Answer:

15 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

If the walker's speed is W, then the biker's speed is 2.5W. In 2 hours, the walker can travel 2W miles while the biker travels 5W. Since 5W-2W=18, 3W=18 and W=6. So the biker travels at a speed of 15 mph.

Answer:

The speed of the biker is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you call the speed of the walker x, and the speed of the biker 2.5x.

Then you know that speed times time equals distance, so you set up and equation. You do x times 2, which is 2x, and then 2.5x times 2, which is 5x. Then, since the distance between them is 18 miles, the equation would be 5x-2x=18. You would get 3x=18, and x is 6. So 6 is the speed of the walker, and 6 times 2.5 = 15, so the speed of the biker is 15.

2p^2 -1 =7 <br> Would appreciate some help thank you
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer: p = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, you first have to add 1 to each side of the equation, leaving you with 2p^2 = 8. Then you divide by 2 on both sides leaving you with p^2 = 4. After that, you take the square root of both sides, and because 4 is a perfect square, you get p = 2 as your final answer.

A boy leaves on a bicycle trip at the rate of 8 mph. One hour later the father, realizing that his son forgot his camping
KatRina [158]

Answer:

40 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

One hour includes 60 minutes

8/60=0.13(3 repeating)

You only need 15 minutes of time

0.13(3 repeating)*15=2

8+2=10 miles

15 minutes is 1/4 of an hour

10*4=40 mph
